Talk of the Town

The community of Unalaska is a busy place to live. Our community calendar is full of events and activities. Talk of the Town is your source for coverage of community events and sports. KUCB staff writes many of the stories, but we also accept contributions from community members for this section of our website. Talk of the Town stories are often used on Flash! Unalaska, our weekly television show. If you'd like to submit a story to Talk of the Town, contact Chrissy.
